nearly a 17% reduction in electric use.
Chicago, IL
Sept. 4, 2007- AAA Galvanizing of Dixon, Illinois undertook an energy
savings program provided by Electric Control Services, LLC of Chicago,
Illinois. Electric Control Systems is an affiliate of Energy Automation
Systems, Inc (EASI) located in Hendersonville Kentucky. The system
was sold, installed and project managed by Electric Control Services.
EASI provided design services and the system components.
AAA Galvanizing
treated over 53 electrical motors and devices as well as lighting.
They were guaranteed a KwH reduction of 8.78%. The guarantee is
insured through Lloyd's of London.
The system is
designed to reduce distribution losses, reduce heat throughout the
entire electrical system, correct harmonic issues and reduce swells
and sags.
Based on the
International Protocol for Measurement and Verification, AAA's first
three month's savings was nearly 17% in KwH. This savings is a direct
correlation to dollar savings. Data is analyzed on a monthly basis
and includes a month to month billing comparison, degree days and
production data.
Kevin Irving,
Vice President of AAA Galvanizing said: "we have six other
facilities and with the technology proven to us we will begin to
deploy this technology in all our plants."
Said Irving:
"The savings are immediate, and Electric Control Services over-delivered
on savings. The payback is short and the ROI is high. Even the communities
we are in benefit, as we will reduce CO2 -a greenhouse gas emission
- by many tons per plant per year."
